5 Minute tips for Hawaiian Steel Guitar #9

[Ryan Matzen]

Some folks have been asking me to do a few videos on Hawaiian steel guitar, so I thought I'd maybe try and blast a quick 5 minute one out each week for a while and see if it's of any interest. It's hard to get a point across in 5 minutes, but I'll give it a whirl for a while each Tuesday.

Here's the tenth one. This one is a tune I learned off an old Roy Smeck record called "Beautiful". It has a very nostalgic sounding melody and navigates the chord changes in a cool way. I love playing it, and I thought it would be fun to show you how it goes.

I'm using open G tuning for this (DGDGBD Low to High) but this would also apply to the high-bass tuning, or Dobro tuning (GBDGBD). Enjoy!
